Website rescue from ROVQIX costs $199 to $799 depending on the situation. We recover access to your domain, hosting and site, get it working again, and transfer everything into accounts registered in your name.
This is a more common problem than it should be. Someone built your site, put everything in their own name, and is now unreachable.
One-page site
Live and working
Domain and content
Care plan is monthly
Finding who holds your domain and getting it transferred into your name. The critical piece.
Identifying where the site is hosted and recovering or replacing access.
Getting a copy of your site and content out before anything else can go wrong.
Restoring a down site, or rebuilding quickly if the original is genuinely unrecoverable.
Every account in your name and your email, so this cannot happen to you again.
Making sure business email keeps working through the transfer, which is often the bigger risk.
| Situation | Usual outcome |
|---|---|
| Developer unreachable, you have domain access | Straightforward, usually a day |
| Domain in the developer's name | Recoverable via registrar dispute, takes time |
| Hosting unpaid and site down | Often recoverable from backups |
| Site hacked | Clean or rebuild, then secure properly |
| Platform discontinued | Rebuild, using content recovered from archives |
| Nobody knows anything | We investigate first, then advise |
We register everything in the client's name as standard. It is a small thing that prevents the situation this page exists for.
Usually, but not always quickly. If it is registered to someone unreachable, registrars have a dispute process that takes weeks. If it expired and was bought by someone else, it may be gone. We will tell you honestly what we think is possible.
We can often recover content from search caches and web archives, then rebuild. You lose the original build but keep your content and your URLs.
If it is down and you have access, often the same day. Domain disputes are outside our control and take as long as the registrar takes.
$199 to $799 depending on complexity. We assess first and give you a fixed number before doing anything, so you are not paying for open-ended investigation.
It is a template we adapt to your business — your colours, photos, services and words. It is not a custom design from scratch, which is what makes $349 possible. If you want fully custom, that starts around $2,500 and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your work or your shop, your services and prices, and your opening hours. If you do not have photos, we will tell you what to take with a phone — it is usually enough.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold your site hostage on a care plan.
You keep the site and the domain. You would need to arrange your own hosting, which is usually $5 to $15 a month, and we will help you move it across at no charge.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

How we think about this work, in more depth.
Rescue
A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
